Update on Colorado terror suspects tied to al Quada

The disclosures came as Najibullah Zazi, 24, of Aurora, Colo., and two other men arrested Saturday night made their first court appearances on charges of making false statements to federal authorities. Zazi, his father Mohammed Wali Zazi and Ahmad Wais Afzali, 37, of Queens, N.Y., were ordered held in custody by judges in Colorado and New York City.
Several officials said it is likely that Zazi will be charged with providing material support to a known terrorist organization, based on his own admission to FBI agents that he trained in weapons and explosives at an Al Qaeda camp in Pakistan last year.

An FBI affidavit unsealed over the weekend alleged that authorities found images of nine pages of notes on Zazi's laptop about how to make explosives, timers and fuses in handwriting that appeared to be consistent with his. It also alleged that authorities have found other information linking Zazi to the suspected plot, including his fingerprints on a small electronic scale and double-A batteries, which are often used in making explosives.
